True-and he is doing it with a relatively small force. A Few bombers and couple of hundred bad asses.
Putin the tummy kisser at that.

The only reason Isis is what it is is because no one in the west has been wiling to take them out. They are no more than 50k in size untrained animals that could easily be destroyed as long as someone was willing to do what needed to be done. Meaning bomb the mosques they hide in to rubble... Accept the civilian casualties will be high and nasty but routing ISIS has always been about will not whether it could be done.
Kinda stupid analysis. Russia has been a welcome ally in Syria since 1971. They didn’t need an excuse like ISIS to put as many people into Syria as they pleased. Assad would have welcomed them with open arms.
We on the other hand, who actually created ISIS had a fantastic reason. We meant for them, with NATO Air Support, to remove Assad just as we did in Libya. But Putin killed the NATO air support politically, and nobody in the USA wanted it either.
Then ISIS helped by going full rabid.
But we created them, there are photos of McCain laughing with them.
Obama still has his fans on here and they are all going after Putin. They, like Obama were much more happier when ISIS had free rein to gorge on all the Christian blood they pleased.
ISIS was the invention of someone....maybe the Russians...maybe Saudi Arabia....maybe the US. The thing is, they were a rag-tag army with no real infrastructure, no air defense, and no great sympathy from the general public in the region.
I would say this. If Russia gets them out of Syria, he probably deserves the Noble Peace Prize. But then I’d be wondering...where exactly they go to....Iraq? And would the US administration go and rescue Iraq? There’s another step to this whole story which I think will become apparent and lead onto more serious consequences. Iran isn’t about to allow ISIS to fester and grow in Iraq....so they will jump into a military encounter.
Assad helped attack US forces in Iraq, the Assad dynasty helped bomb the Marines in Beirut, feel free to make Assad and Putin your hero but this is total BS.
"a recent investigation conducted by Novaya Gazeta, one of the few independent newspapers left in Russia, complicates this cozy tale of counterterrorist cooperation. Based on extensive fieldwork in one village in the North Caucasus, reporter Elena Milashina has concluded that the “Russian special services have controlled” the flow of jihadists into Syria, where they have lately joined up not only with ISIS but other radical Islamist factions.
In other words, Russian officials are adding to the ranks of terrorists which the Russian government has deemed a collective threat to the security and longevity of its dictatorial ally on the Mediterranean, Bashar al-Assad."
Shoebat even says that isn’t McCain with the ISIS figures, so you are really sticking to debunked material just like Rand Paul.
Assad collaborated with Jihadis in Syria to attack US interests in Iraq. That is pretty clear. Yet, some are speaking so highly of Assad and all Russia is going to give Assad is the rump state of Latakia, some big success.
And it’s not us, vanquishing the evil in our midst........Barry has seen to it that we will play second fiddle to HIS superiors. NOT our superiors.......Obama has made sure we look like the JV team. But we know we are not. We need to be unleashed to fight the evil in our times.
I think McCain’s lil’ buddies will be tactically annihilated in Syria and eventually Iraq, but an insurgency the size of ISIS, supported as it is by Riyadh, Ankara and Versailles on the Potomac is not going to collapse in hours. It just won’t, even if it is one of the transnationals’ synthetic NGOs.
Go away dillwed. I didn’t make him my hero. I observed the obvious, that Russia didn’t need a Byzantine plot like creating ISIS to get into Syria. They just had to make a phone call and schedule an arrival time.
As for Syria in the Beirut bombing, no proof really, but it appears it was Hezbollah with Iranian and Syrian intel assist. That was of course during the regime of Assad’s father, not the one we are against now.
And no way your ISIS rebel allies would be a better choice for Syria. Prattle on with your silliness, but nobody much is buying that Assad needs to go except Obama and the Saudis.
The other guy in the McCain photos cut out a Syrian soldiers heart and actually took a bite. Now he’s known as a moderate. McCain was laughing with them. ISIS.
Desert Rhino, anyone who supports the Killing of Our Marines and says we created ISIS is an A-1 slimebag.
never send a community organizer to be a Commander-in-Chief
“...nobody much is buying that Assad needs to go except Obama and the Saudis.”
And Soros. Not surprising. Look behind the Obamacon sockpuppets and you usually will find Soros agendas.
Ok, I read your link the first time. Now again, my question. Why would Russia need to create ISIS to get into Syria?
Since 1971 Syria has NEVER refused to let them send anything there.
Us and the Saudis on the other hand wanted Assad gone so a sunni Arab spring government could take over. That is why ISIS was created by us, and why they aren’t being attacked by us. As bad as they are we are hot for them to tumble Assad before we want to smack them down.
Its really fairly clear.
Who gives a crap, Assad’s soldiers have done all kinds of crap.
Putin has a responsibility to clean up the mess that the Assads crapped out on everyone for years. Oh, I see, he’s a secular dictator who protected Christians, that is more Russian BS. He hasn’t protected them at all.
Assad let Jihadis roam free in Syria to plan attack against America in Iraq, same kind of deal with Soleimani in Iran. Only a sleezebag would be denying this truth and cheer for the side that blew our Marines up in Lebanon.
Read Naharnet.com or the Daily Star from Lebanon, Lebanon is close enough to Syria and they know what is going on, not some idiot who is just giving Alex Jones/Zero Headge/RT malarkey.
